What the Egg Nutrition Board Isn't Telling Viewers

The egg industry is currently advertising its product on The
Today Show. They're telling the public eggs are "good for you,"
but:

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, eggs
contaminated with Salmonella have caused significant numbers of
human illnesses and continue to be a major public health concern.
"Salmonella infected flocks have become prevalent throughout the
country."

Each year, the U.S. egg industry intentionally deprives millions
of hens of all food for an average of 1-2 weeks, until they lose
25 to 35 percent of their body weight. This starvation practice,
known as forced molting, is a primary cause of Salmonella
poisoning in chickens, eggs, and people.

The modern hen house is loaded with rodents. Every night, mice
deposit an average of 100 fecal pellets per mouse in a 24 hour
period in the hens' food. These Salmonella-ridden fecal pellets
are the first thing the caged hens consume in the morning.

The eggs being advertised on The Today Show are laid in filthy,
infested hen houses filled with manure and permeated with toxic
excretory ammonia fumes. A one million hen complex produces 125
tons of wet manure a day.

The Egg Nutrition Board--the egg industry--is not about
public health--just public relations. The caged birds live and
lay their eggs in squalor--ingesting and inhaling Salmonella
poison day in, day out--which is conveyed to consumers of eggs
and egg products via the hens' ravaged immune system. The idea is
to condition the public to accept Salmonella-infested eggs as
"normal." This is a baldfaced lie.
